Comer: DOJ Bars National Archives From Discussing Classified Material Retrieved from Biden

The House Oversight and Accountability Committee on Tuesday conducted its first transcribed interview pertaining to alleged Biden family influence-peddling, Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) told Fox News's Sean Hannity Tuesday night.

But the witness, the general counsel for the National Archives, couldn't tell the committee everything it wanted to know, because he was instructed not to say anything about the classified documents retrieved from Joe Biden's home and Washington, D.C., think tank.

The general counsel is the National Archives' chief legal officer and adviser.

"Well, right before the National Archives came in, they handed us a letter from the Department of Justice, informing them and us that the general counsel for the National Archives wasn't allowed to say anything about the Biden documents," Comer said:

“But we went ahead, and we had about a three-plus-hour transcribed interview with the general counsel. And what we learned was, there is a double standard here with how Donald Trump was treated versus Joe Biden.

“And I'll give you an example, Sean. If you go on the National Archives website, there's pages and pages of press releases and information about the FBI's raid into Mar-a-Lago and Donald Trump's possession of classified documents. But there's nothing on the website about Joe Biden. There wasn't any press release or anything on the website about Joe Biden.
